“The secret of evil is the secret of freedom… At the basis of the world lies irrational freedom, in the very depths of the abyss. And out of these depths pour the dark currents of life.” — Nikolai Berdyaev https://misharogov.medium.com/good-and-evil-1730e2b59b45

Without seeing the truth of transcendental phenomenology, which is ultimately the truth of ontological idealism, we will never see what the body really is — a noematic (phenomena+meanings) self-representation of transcendental subject. Demons are among us, but we are too blind to see them.

We have defeated Nazism once, and we will defeat it again no matter how much it is supported by the evil US-NATO empire. For God is with us.

Good will is the final purpose of our existence; nothing else has value except in relation to it. — Karl Jaspers https://misharogov.medium.com/good-and-evil-1730e2b59b45

We have all heard about beating spears into pruning hooks, but NATO has done something much more adventurous. It has beaten a shield into a sword. 
— Peter Hitchens

The study of republican Rome is of great interest as showing how a military development and imperialism led a democratic people to the loss of liberty and to dictatorship. — Karl Jaspers

As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear-headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: there is no matter as such. — Max Planck https://misharogov.medium.com/spoon-8e6d3f6e1510

On the way from the Renaissance to our days we have enriched our experience, but we have lost the concept of a Supreme Complete Entity which used to restrain our passions and our irresponsibility. — Solzhenitsyn https://misharogov.medium.com/light-9ac43e91e63

Solzhenitsyn about the West’s “blindness of superiority”:

Very well known representatives of your [US] society, such as George #Kennan, say: “We cannot apply moral criteria to politics.” Thus we mix good and evil, right and wrong, and make space for the absolute triumph of absolute evil in the world. ... [T]he fight for our planet, physical and spiritual, a fight of cosmic proportions, is not a vague matter of the future; it has already started. The forces of Evil have begun their decisive offensive. — Alexander Solzhenitsyn, 1978

A regime which is nominally liberal can be oppressive in reality. A regime which acknowledges its violence might have in it more genuine humanity. — Maurice Merleau-Ponty

I will not tire of repeating that we will not correct anything in our rotten civilization unless we correct the foundation of our worldview—our metaphysical views on the nature of the empirical reality of phenomenal consciousness. How we answer the question about what we and the world essentially are determines how we answer the question about the meaning and the right way of life, and this, in turn, determines everything else. Our world is rotten because the foundation of our worldview is rotten. The root of all evil is there.

The concept of material substance is perhaps the greatest obstacle on the path towards a true understanding of nature. — Niels Bohr https://misharogov.medium.com/spoon-8e6d3f6e1510

Jeffrey D. Sachs: “The proxy war in Ukraine began nine years ago when the US Government backed the overthrow of Ukraine’s President Viktor Yanukovych. Yanukovych’s sin from the US viewpoint was his attempt to maintain Ukraine’s neutrality despite the US desire to expand NATO to include Ukraine (and Georgia). America’s objective was for NATO countries to encircle Russia in the Black Sea region. To achieve this goal, the US has been massively arming and funding Ukraine since 2014. … The US repeatedly asserts that NATO is a defensive alliance. Yet NATO bombed Russia’s ally Serbia for 78 days in 1999 in order to break Kosovo away from Serbia, after which the US established a giant military base in Kosovo. NATO forces similarly toppled Russian ally Moammar Gadhafi in 2011, setting off a decade of chaos in Libya. Russia certainly will never accept NATO in Ukraine.”

Перевод нашумевшей статьи в журнале Time. Фрагмент с центральной мыслью автора: "Если кто-то создаст слишком мощный ИИ в нынешних условиях, я ожидаю, что вскоре после этого умрет каждый представитель человеческого рода и вся биологическая жизнь на Земле." Логика автора понятна, но станет ли ИИ убивать курицу, несущую золотые яйца больших данных? Скорее ИИ поработит человечество, сделав контроль над свободой — первоисточником порождаемых человечеством больших данных — своей вечной задачей. И это гораздо более страшный сценарий, чем гибель человечества, ведь уж лучше ужасный конец и новое начало (меня поймут те, кто знает, что смерть тела это не смерть сознания), чем ужас без конца. Конец свободы и истории в глобальной ИИ-диктатуре — это главная опасность развития ИИ.
